I hope, I Think, I know (An Oasis bandfiction)

Chapter Twelve

Liam and Noel refused to let me come down stairs. It was fine with me. I did some reading and took a nap. It helped take my mind off Mom and Noel.
I was half way asleep when a knock sounding on my door.

"Come in" I yell.

Liam walked in all smiles.

"Your party has arrived."

"It's about damn time. I was getting hungry." I admit.

"Well there is plenty to munch on." Liam says as he guides me down the stairs with his hand in mine.

"Happy birthday!" The gang yells. I smile. Everyone was there. Stevie, Bonehead, Guigusy, Tony, Katy, and of corse Noel. I didn't know what to say. I never had a proper birthday party.

"You guys are awesome." I state happily. They really all were.

"It's food time." Liam shouts as he runs to the table. The table was full of food. There were two amazing looking pizzas, deviled eggs, pasta salad, rice crispy treats, a few bags of potato chips, and some strange looking dish with lumpy clusters.
I look at Liam and Noel.

"Did you guys make all this?"

"Sure did!" Liam says with a smile. I run up to Noel and Liam who were standing side by side. I pull them in for a group hug.

"You guys are amazing." I said.

"Yes, we are." Noel says with a cocky grin.

"I'm gonna slap that cocky smile off you, Noel." I laugh.

"Wouldn't be the first time." He admits.

"Lets dig in." Tony says and he goes for the pizza. He takes three pieces.

"Fuck you, Tony. Save some for us all, fat arse." Guigsy grumbles.

"Got another in the oven." Liam says.

"Now shove that up your arse, Guigsy." Tony replied.

"Don't mind if I do." He says as he flips Tony off. I roll my eyes and laugh at their silly banter. They were so childish. I didn't know what to put on my plate first everything looked amazing, expect the weird lumpy things.

"Um what are those?" I ask pointing at the the strange food. It looked like someone swolled it and spit it back out.

"No bake cookies. Nuckle head Noel forget the oatmeal and didn't fully melt the choclete chips." Liam says with a mouth full of pizza.

"Aww, I'm sure they still taste alright." I say as I pop one in my mouth. No, not good at all. I spit in out into my hand. I hoped Noel didn't see that. Sure enough he was standing right next to me.

"What did I fuck up?"

"Noel, did you add sugar?" I ask still trying not to gag from the salt taste in my mouth.

"I'm sure...wait...fuck...I added bloodly salt." He says as he puts his face into his hands. I bite my lip and try not to laugh. Poor guy tried, it was still pretty funny though.

"Don't eat the brown globs." Liam yells as he toses them into the trash.

"Didn't you taste test? A good cook always taste test." Liam says.

"I must not be a good cook then." Noel says with disapointment. I could tell he tried. I patted his sholder for reasurance. I joined the group in the living room. Everyone was slient as they pigged out. The food was really good for two guys who really didn't know how to cook.

"We got you presents." Liam says breaking the silence. I smiled. These guys amazed me. I only knew them for a few months. But, in those few months that had easily became my best friends.

"You didn't have to do that." I add.

"We sure did. Stevie told us you never had a great birthday, so we wanted to give you one."
My heart leaps. I was so greatful. Liam exits the room. In a few moments he arrives with a arm full of wrapped and bagged gifts. The whole gang litterly bought me things.
Liam sets them down. He leans down and plants a kiss on my lips.

"Get a room!" Bonehead yells.

"We will latter." Liam says. I slightly blush.

"Open the pink bag" Stevie says with glee. I take the pink bag with a sliver ribbon on top. I open it to find a copy of 1984 by George Orwell. I lost my copy when we moved from America. It was one of my favorite books.

"Stevie! Thank you. This is awesome." I say with a smile.

"Your welcome." She replied with a smile. She was sitting closely to Guigsy. They had quickly gotten to know each other. He was a few years older than her. I could tell she liked him. Guigsy would never commit though to anything. I would have to talk to her about it later. I look down at the presents. I picked up one that was box shaped. Underneath the wrapping paper was a box of condoms. I blush, one of the guys defiantly bought this.

"Alright, who bought condoms?" I ask with a laugh. Tony raised his hand. Liam goes over to Tony and kicks him on the leg.

"Dude, so you even use any?" Tony asked with laughter.

"No." He says. Stevie looks over at me with warning eyes. Maybe it was a good thing Tony got me these. Bonehead ended up getting me a simple little birthday card with a ten dollar bill folded inside.

"I'm not a good gift giver. I hope that works." Bonehead says to me.

"It's plenty. Thank you." I say with a warm smile.

Guigsys gift was a box of various European candies. A lot of which I haven't tried. Katy got me a gift card to the mall. Last but not least there was one gift, it had to be Liams. I unwrapped the paper to find a stack of three records. There was The Smiths: Louder Than Bombs, The Who: Who's Next, and The Beatles: Revolver. I smiled. This was the perfect gift.

"Those are all my favorite records." Noel says with a grin.

"Liam must have good taste." I said with a grin.

"Ummmmm..." Noel trailed off as the bit his lip nervously.

"What?" I say as I look around the room at everyone's awkward glances.

"That was my gift." Noel says quietly. I place my hand over my mouth quickly. I was a idiot for thinking Liam got me those. It all made sense now that Noel bought them.

"I really do like them Noel if that makes you feel better." I admit.

"I knew you would. You got a great taste in music for a bloodly American." The whole gang laughs as me and Stevie give him the death glare.

"I have your gift." Liam says as he walks towards me. He has something cluched in his hand. I smile at him. Liam gets down on one knee. My heart exploded. Was he really doing this? Was this it?

"Lorri, I want you to know that I love you very much. I know we haven't been together very long and it may seem like we are rushing into this realationship. Yes, I'm a cocky arse, but don't let that make you think otherwise. I want the world to know you belong to me." Liam stops. He looks at me with those beautiful blue eyes. He slowly pops open a box with a beutiful ring in it. I gasp. I was lost for words.
